Hi @SHARONAnne
Unfortunately, Access to Work is only for paid employment and not volunteering. I have attached a link below for more information about this service.

Most charities provide expenses for their volunteers.
I have checked with Scope and they do pay travel and meal expenses, to it’s volunteers.
Speak to the local Scope shop, that you intend to volunteer at, to confirm same.
Good luck for when you start volunteering.
